Canadian Moms & Moms to be!

[MamaBird]

UGH!!! I hated waiting for weigh in!! What's your meal plan for after you're done!?? I always had something really BAD so I had a whole week to work it off. You're doing really well Sara, all those updates on Facebook about your prgm. Good for you!!

So I finally caved last night. All of Tiff's talk this summer about her Keurig and then Kate this week buying a Tassimo... I caved and got one that was on special at wal-mart I have been wanting one for a few years. Actually had it on my wish list 3-4 years ago, but my parents didn't know what I meant and so they bought one of those $14.99 one cup coffee/tea things. It was sweet, but not really what I wanted.

ANYWAY...long story short...stupid me...I only bought coffee and cappucino t-discs and so last night after we put P to bed I wanted to give it a try. So it was almost 10pm and I'm drinking a cappucino (and these aren't those mild Tim Horton's french vanilla ones). Well fastforward to almost 1am when Nathan and I went to bed...couldn't sleep to save my life...OBVIOUSLY. So 1:30 got up and did some work until 3:15 (Brandi, I did finish your order so I'll mail it out Monday) And even then I tossed and turned till almost 4am. Needless to say...I brewed myself another one when I got up at 8:30

BUT...I think I have discovered the secret to productivity....COFFEE/CAPPUCINO!!!! Maybe I will get enough done for the craft shows!

Hope everyone is having a good Saturday!

I'm an idiot!

I was trying to wish Miss Alora a happy birthday on FB and MIL was talking NON STOP. I saw Brig's post and then wished PEYTON a happy birthday.

SO SO SO SO SO SO SO sorry Kate, only me would do that!

Oh don't worry about it hun! You'd have to do a lot more than that to offend Kate.

LOL Brig sorry you were up all night!! Caffiene helps me wake up but wont keep up at night, i could have a coffee in bed LOL. However i think that caffiene may keep J up, so i try to limit my afternoon consumption.

 

[MamaBird]

Oh gosh!!! Caffeine REALLY bothered P so I only had the odd Pepsi...I didn't even have chocolate! But that changed when she quit BFing.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Thanks for the update, Brig!!

So, it's 11:30 and I just woke up now. I was at the hospital (again) all night with Anberlin and didn't get home until 4:00am. The ER doctor doesn't think it's croup, but thinks it is whooping cough, so they did the swab and we'll know on Monday.

Happy Birthday lil Alora!

Brandi - Your kids seem to be sick all the time

 

[BrandiCanucks]

The other two ALWAYS get croup in November, and Zoe's already medically fragile. We've thankfully avoided it so far, but a simple cold could turn into pneumonia very quickly for her.

I just hope the other two, should they get sick, AT LEAST hold off until AFTER we go to Disney..

Happy Birthday Alora!!!!

Brig - I was up till 3am on a caffeine high too but guess how much I had? I had ONE SMALL (free ) coffee from McDonald's at ELEVEN IN THE MORNING!!! Shows the affect such a small amount of caffeine can have when I'm used to drinking nothing.

 

[Tiff]

I'm proud of cutting myself down to 1 cup of coffee in the morning! I used to drink a LOT of it.

MIL is crazy with how much she drinks! She bought 4 cases of K-Cups (so almost 100 cups) less than a month ago and she's already out. That is A LOT of coffee.

Where does she get cases!? I am still discovering flavours etc...but it seemed to me last night that Wal-mart doesn't have much of a selection.

 

[Tiff]

You can find K Cups almost anywhere, but the Timothy's Coffee in our mall sell K Cups by the case and singles.

Nathan and I really want a Tassimo
We might get it as a Christmas present to ourselves, usually we just do stockings for each other. I'm more worried about the cost of all the little cups.

 

[Tiff]

I think I've seen T-Discs at The Bay! I tend to not pay attention because I don't have a Tassimo, but if I see them at any stores I'll let you guys know!

 

[readynwilling]

i buy my cases from ESCcoffee . com... they are located in burlington and have a ton of selection. you pay for shipping, but its usually here next day. i have been there and you can fill a carasol (sp?) of Kcups in all different flavours for $16. I have been buying tim the Folgers (in the red box) for his regular coffee at walmart. he drinks 3-4 a day i don't drink coffee anymore (used to drink it big time!) but have 3 cups of green tea a day. and the occasional latte from starbucks (had 2 of them today )

i just wanted to add that starving myself this morning was worth it... met this weeks goal

Good job Sara!!

 

[Vickie]

Hope you get more rest tonight Brig

Well done on your loss Sara!

 

[BlackBerry25]

Get a Keurig!! So AWESOME!

We go through a lot...

Like a lot.

There is a bulk k cup store here so you can make your own cases, or you can buy it by the case. I also have apple cider and hot chocolate (which I did not like)

I think its called Single Cup or something? They have a website too.

 

[BlackBerry25]

Great accomplishment Sara!

 

[Tiff]

Awesome job Sara!

We have the Apple Cider and White Hot Chocolate and the other kind of hot chocolate. I'm not a fan of either as well but P seems to like it. Current faves are the dark roast coffee (ADORE dark roast!) and the Sugar Bush Maple from Timothy's.
